The Church of St. Andrew 5th Annual 5k

Staten Island's historic Church of St. Andrew runs its 5th annual 5K through LaTourette Park — greenbelt trails beside colonial Richmond Town.

Special EventStaten IslandParks Department

This 5K starts from one of the most historic corners of New York: the Church of St. Andrew's colonial parish grounds beside Historic Richmond Town, with LaTourette's greenbelt meadows as the course. It's a small-town race morning inside the big city — church volunteers, neighbors, kids sprinting the last stretch. Add a post-race wander through Richmond Town's preserved village and you've built a proper Staten Island Saturday.

What to expect

Expect a friendly parish-and-neighborhood field, a rolling course through LaTourette Park's paths and golf course edges, and a family atmosphere at the finish. The greenbelt setting is greener than most city races ever get.

Common questions

Do I need to be a parishioner to run?

No — the annual 5K is open to the community; register through the church's event channels.

What's near the course?

Historic Richmond Town, the restored colonial village museum, sits right beside the park — worth exploring after the race.
